The Powerscourt distillery began distilling in 2018 and is located in Powerscourt Estate in Co. Wicklow. While the estate is owned by the Slazenger Family, the distillery was founded and owned by business partners Gerry Ginty, Ashley Gardiner and subsequently Mike Peirce and son Alex. Noel Sweeney was on hand from the beginning, to oversee the distillation. Through his connections with Cooley distillery, Noel was able to source and blend mature whiskey in order to launch products in the Fercullen range before any whiskey was ready from the Forsyths stills at Powerscourt.
The Fercullen Single Malt is the first 100% Powerscourt distilled product to market. It is a non-aged statement whiskey and despite being young, it noses and tastes beyond its years. It has been exclusively matured in first-fill ex-bourbon casks, is non-chill filtered and bottled at 46% abv.
